PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT IS AT THE BASEMENT OF MASJID MYDIN

Modern society constantly reinforces the misperception that women in Islam are regarded as inherently inferior to men. This feeds in to the dominant view of women as weak and helpless individuals in perpetual need of being rescued.

In contrast to these misperceptions, the Quran is very clear in its statement that women are equal to men: “Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer, We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward according to the best of what they used to do.” [An Nahl, 16:97]

Indeed, the women mentioned in the Quran are themselves the embodiment of strength and resilience in the face of the hardships in their lives. They display deep conviction in the provision of Allah at even the most trying times in their lives. Women and men alike can draw numerous life lessons from learning about the lives of the women in the Qur’an and the sheer strength of spirit they showed in their lives.

This lecture will provide examples of great women in Islam, who are mentioned in the Al-Quran.
